04:11 sulaiman Hello.
04:12 sulaiman I just created a very simple readonly API that looks up parking zones for my city. Can anyone review it for me?
04:12 sulaiman It only has 3 ends points, https://pure-garden-3175.herokuapp.com/api/v1/zones <-- lists all zones
04:13 sulaiman and lists zones by GPS coordinates, https://pure-garden-3175.herokuapp.com/api/v1/zones?lat=25.266817&lng=55.318732
04:14 sulaiman the other one just retrieves an individual zone with a zone number

08:59 daxim sulaiman, what you have so far is only an HTTP API; to make it restful: give resources URIs, add hyperlinks between them, define link relations and hypermedia controls (i.e. forms or URI templates for the GPS lookup), describe media types.  since you're using JSON, HAL can help you: <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-kelly-json-hal>
09:03 asdf` there's also narwhl.com for a similar mediatype with i think some more prose docs

23:03 sulaiman thanks daxim, asdf`
23:04 sulaiman I updated my API, https://pure-garden-3175.herokuapp.com/api/v1/zones
23:04 sulaiman based on JSON HAL
23:05 sulaiman In my API, if I have only one zone type, I have a field called "zone_type: X", if I have more than one, i named it "zone_types: [X, Y, Z]" is that confusing?
23:06 whartung yes
23:06 sulaiman should I always use "zone_types: [X]" ?
23:06 whartung I would
23:06 fumanchu_ ditto
